Deficiency judgments are allowed in Pennsylvania if the mortgage company files a separate lawsuit against the borrowers after the original foreclosure auction.

If the mortgagee (usually the foreclosing bank) purchases the property at the auction, the amount of any deficiency judgment is limited by the fair market value of the property.
